I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like BIL was a wonderful man. I'm so glad you could be there for your sister as she made such a difficult decision. Your positive energy can't help but be a comfort to those around.
Lots of love and good thoughts for all of you.
But that's just a lot of water

I am so sorry for your loss.
I am sending you strength, and courage to support your sister during this difficult time.
How wonderful that she was able to follow through on his wishes, and she was able to have the support of her family there for her.
((( and strength )))

I'm so sorry. What a hard time for your family. It is obvious he will be dearly dearly missed.

Thank you everyone for your kind and tender thoughts.
There are so many blessings packaged with this tragedy. We are missing our dear one, and grateful for all the love show to my sister and my family.
I made the 4 hour drive from my sister's to my home this afternoon and made up a silly song about how my BIL is free and at peace, the way you can sing stuff in the car and you don't care if you are out of tune and the words are repetitive. It felt good to remember that he no longer has to suffer with the many layers of his illness. The medications he had to take were very harsh with many uncomfortable side effects including diabetes that led to more and more medications. He no longer has to put up with this.
I am going to get back to focusing on my work as best I can this week. At least there are only 3 days left til the holiday weekend.
Blessings to all of you and your loved ones.
Feeling grateful amidst the loss...

I believe your BIL held on until he could get your sister back to her family for support. What a gift and testimony to his spirit.
